Chapter 943 Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood
To the south of the city, the siege army of the Chu army, like ants over the mountains and mountains, densely packed, climbed up quickly along the ladder.
Flying boulders and spears in the air struck from time to time, smashed into the city wall and pierced into the walkway, making the city head rain of bullets and bullets, and the danger was full of dangers.
The Yan army at the head of the city can only stick to the inside of the city wall and move forward cautiously, otherwise, accidents may occur anytime and anywhere.
"Damn, bastards!" Gu Jianxiong stared at the cloud ladder on the top of the city wall, and from time to time there was a sound of distance collision in his ears, and he was furious in his heart, and scolded again and again.
Seeing the non-stop attack of the Chu army, the other party seemed to have the intention of capturing Yuejiang City.
Turning his head and glancing at the Yan army who was cowering on the inside of the city, Gu Jianxiong shouted: "Prepare the boulder and fight back." ”
Previously, he shot thousands of Xuanjia soldiers in a rain of arrows, but did not severely damage the opponent, Gu Jianxiong ordered the army in advance to collect the boulders that had not yet broken on the city wall.
At this moment, the Chu army attacked, and it happened to become a sharp weapon for the Yan army to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.
Hearing the sound, the Yan army in the city wall, regardless of the rain of guns and stones, risked the risk of being injured by a boulder at any time and being stabbed to death by a spear, stood at the head of the city, picked up the boulder, and threw himself into the battle without fear of life and death.
Suddenly, on the city wall, the boulder rolled down from the top of the ladder climbed by the Chu army, and smashed into the climbing Chu army.
There is also the Yan army, using the crossbow in his hand, standing behind the battlement, looking for an opportunity to shoot the key links of the Chu army.
The Yan army suddenly fought back and fought bravely, causing a lot of casualties to the Chu army that was besieging the city!
However, the Yan army stepped forward and fought without any defense, which also caused a lot of casualties.
Youyan Jun had just lifted the boulder, and before he threw it down, a spear flew in the distance, which happened to pass through Yan Jun's body, and the tip of the spear pierced into the stone slab of the walkway, and the body of the spear was still pierced in Yan Jun's body.
The boulder in Yan Jun's hand fell off, and his body was directly provoked by the power of the gun, hanging straight in the air, looking very terrifying.
There is also Yan Jun, holding up the boulder, a boulder fell in the air, just concentrating the boulder in Yan Jun's hand, the two boulders hit in a row, and the bright red blood was left from Yan Jun's forehead, which was very terrifying.
There was also a Yan army leaning out, lying between the battlements, holding a crossbow to shoot the Chu army who was climbing quickly along the ladder, a spear attacked, passed through the back of the Yan army, and the whole person was shot at the head of the city, as if being hung upside down on the top of the city wall.
There are all kinds of encounters of the Yan army, and the siege troops have suffered great casualties.
It was almost a life-for-life with the Chu army, and in a short period of time, the two armies of Yan and Chu started a tug-of-war on the head of the city.
Above the city wall, there is the blood of the Yan army, and below the city wall, there is the blood of the Chu army.
The entire southern wall of Yuejiang City was stained red with blood, as if a master artist had just repainted the city wall with execution.
The Yan army is still defending, the Chu army is still attacking, and at a huge cost in life, no one in the coalition forces will take the initiative to give up the attack.
Gu Jianxiong led the Yan army at the head of the city to attack, his face became more and more ugly, according to the current situation, if it continued, even if the Yan army barely held the city of Yuejiang, the Yan army would not have many people who escaped death.
What's more, the Chu army's offensive was too fierce, and he was not sure whether the Yan army could continue to hold on to the city wall, or how long it could hold on, even if it persisted!
During the onslaught with the Yan army, suddenly a guard was in a hurry, passed through the strong forest and stone rain, and arrived at Gu Jianxiong's side, and said in a hurried tone: "General, Ximen is in a hurry!" ”
"General, the north gate is in an emergency!"
"General, the east gate is in an emergency!"
Almost within half a cup of tea, the generals who met the enemy at the three city gates in the east, west, and north were all sent to guard the city and ask for help from the Gu Jianxiong army stationed at the south gate.
Hearing the sound, Gu Jianxiong looked at the Chu army under the city wall, and then looked at the Yan army that was entangled on all sides of the city wall, and his heart hesitated.
The three gates of the east, west and north were in a hurry, and the Chu army at the south gate was eyeing the tiger, whispering a few words to the three guards waiting for the general, and the three rushed away.
At this time, Gu Jianxiong turned his head and shouted to the Yan army in the city wall: "Attack with all your strength, and strive to eliminate half of the Chu army under the city wall." ”
"Yes!"
Today's situation is beyond Gu Jianxiong's expectations, and if he can't reverse the situation, the only way to consume the living force of the Chu army is to consume it as much as possible.
……
In the early morning, the dense fog is blown away by the cold wind blowing from the river, and the weather is clear and sunny.
Ancheng, in a fierce battle overnight, Feng Yi and Feng Shihu joined forces inside and outside, not only successfully expelling the 20,000 Chu troops under Han Xitong's account, but also seizing dozens of stone throwers from the other side.
More importantly, Feng Shihu learned from the captured Chu army: "Last night, 70,000 Chu troops were dispatched, 20,000 Chu troops attacked Ancheng, and the remaining 50,000 Chu troops, under the leadership of the commander Han Zhitong, headed east, and their whereabouts are unknown. ”
Chu Jun's whereabouts are unknown, maybe he doesn't want to say it, maybe he really doesn't know where Han Zhitong led the army.
Feng Shihu, as the commander, fought in the south and the north, and heard that the Chu army sent 70,000 and 50,000 to the east, and quickly guessed the whereabouts of Yuejiang City.
Yuejiang City, Han Zhitong must lead the army to Yuejiang City.
Of the four cities along the river, only Yuejiang Castle is in the east of Anseong, and it is 100 miles away from Anseong.
If the Chu army dared to launch an attack on Yuejiang City, the defenders of Ancheng would have no way of understanding it. Moreover, there was a light mist near Anseong early this morning, which affected the line of sight. If the Chu army attacked at night, it would be difficult to stop the 50,000 Chu army with the low walls of Yuejiang City and 30,000 Yan cavalry!
Riding his horse back to Ancheng, Feng Shihu met with Feng Yi and expressed his conjecture.
On the one hand, he instructed the guards to find the merchant ships of the Chu State, assist Hou Shangming and the two to cross the river, and tell the emperor about the situation in Jiangnan as soon as possible.
On the one hand, he was preparing to lead the cavalry to rescue Gu Jianxiong and Yuejiang City, who might be in dire straits.
To avoid the fall of Yuejiang City, the three Yan Qi encountered accidents.
In Feng Shihu's heart, the importance of Yanqi is far greater than that of Yuejiang City.
The city was gone, and the Yan army continued to fight, losing 30,000 Yan cavalry, but it would take several years to train the elite to be good at fighting and using rich combat experience.
Last night, Feng Yi defended the city, attracted a large number of main forces of the Chu army, and used the muskets fired from the bed crossbow to expose the whereabouts of the Chu army, which played a vital role in the victory of Feng Shihu's cavalry.
But he had never heard of the intentions of the Chu army, let alone known that the Chu army was attacking the east and west, and the main army was attacking Yuejiang City.
When he first heard that Yuejiang City was in a situation, he was ready to personally lead the army to Yuejiang City to rescue the 30,000 Yan cavalry in the city.
This army followed him to fight in the south and the north, and then arrived in the south of the Yangtze River from Jiangbei, and fought in the south of Cai for a long time.
If the city is broken by the Chu army, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive.
It's a pity that his suggestion has just been put forward and was directly denied by Feng Shihu.
Relatively speaking, Feng Shihu is good at field warfare and surprise attacks, and he is not sure about the matter of defending the city, let alone interested.
I always felt that it was better for the cavalry to stay in the city than to kill in the vast plains.
What's more, Feng Yi understands the siege routine of the Southern Chu Army, and compared with the two, Feng Yi is better at defending the city.
Hearing this, Feng Yi didn't say much, there was not much time, the situation of Yuejiang City was confusing, and he had to quickly escort two envoys to successfully cross the river, and whoever on both sides led troops to Yuejiang City could do so.
Feng Shihu did not delay, only left the last night's expedition to attack the Chu army in the city, on the contrary, re-led 10,000 ironclad cavalry, and strived to rush to Yuejiang City in the shortest possible time.
Rescue Gu Jianxiong and 30,000 Yan troops from fire and water.
……
At this moment, in the city of Yuejiang, the fog gradually dispersed under the blowing of the river breeze from the north.
In front of the city wall, there was finally a trace of the Chu army, densely packed, the south gate was besieged to death, and if you want to escape from the south gate, it is difficult to fly!
On the ground, flames were burning, and in the flames, the corpses of the Chu army and the Yan army were stacked on top of each other, and the corpses were burned by the fire, emitting a pungent smell.
Despite the heavy casualties, the Chu army still did not give up the attack, regardless of the attack at the head of the city, and quickly climbed up along the ladder.
On the city wall, the Yan army was in an even worse situation, even though they continued to use the stones and spears in the walkway to kill the Chu army climbing along the ladder.
In the center of the walkway, there is still a layer of stones, and from the cracks in the stones, you can clearly see the body of Yan Jun and the scarlet blood under the stones.
After half an early morning of fierce fighting, although the Chu army had not yet broken through the city of Yuejiang, it relied on the powerful offensive of catapults to smash the battlements of the city wall and collapse.
In the entire southern city wall, only the bare city wall remains, and the corpses of the Yan army of various dead Yan soldiers,
In two hours of fighting, about 5,000 Yan troops were killed on the southern wall alone, although more Chu troops were killed.
However, the 5,000 casualties were also very large casualties for the Yan army, which had always suffered very few casualties in the battle.
The more casualties the Yan army had, the less hope there was of defending the city.
More importantly, not long ago, the Yan army guards reported that the Chu army at the east gate had used catapults to smash open the city gate, and under the fierce resistance of the Yan army, they still forcibly attacked the city of Yuejiang.
The north and west gates are also in very bad condition, and the city gates are precarious, and they may be broken at any time.
The situation in Yuejiang City was that the Yan army either transferred the whole army and fought against the Chu army in the streets and alleys of the city, or quickly abandoned the city and fled.
Yuejiang City itself is not large, and the number of Chu troops far exceeds that of the Yan army, Gu Jianxiong has no idea of starting a tug-of-war with the Chu army in a street battle!
Otherwise, the four gates will be captured, and the Yan army will undoubtedly be blocked in the city, and it will be impossible to escape!
Gu Jianxiong's face was covered with blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's, and many places had scabbed.
He raised his head and looked at the attacking Chu army outside, grabbed his sword, and ordered: "The whole army evacuates and moves to Ancheng!"
Hearing the sound, all the Yan soldiers who heard Gu Jianxiong's orders looked at him together.
During the campaign, the Yan army was rarely forced to evacuate, but today Yuejiang City was forced to move by the Chu army.
On the southern wall of the city alone, thousands of Yan troops were killed in battle, and it was too shameful to evacuate.
However, Gu Jianxiong's face did not change, he raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, quickly transfer, leave the green mountains here, and don't worry about running out of firewood." ”
He was unwilling to continue to hold on, but unfortunately the broken city was not able to be held by the Yan army at all.
